Description
Summary:Post-AAT, prescribing of narrow spectrum penicillins more likely (adjusted OR [aOR] 2.81, 95% CI 1.45-5.42), as were narrow spectrum beta-lactams (aOR 3.52, 95% CI 1.98-6.33), and appropriate antibiotics (aOR 12.27, 95% CI 5.00-30.09); and less likely for restricted antibiotics (aOR 0.16, 95% CI 0.09-0.29), after adjusting for indication, Charlson comorbidity index, and care setting.
